Title: Overview
Author: Graham Nelson

@ This is the home page for the source code for the Inform 7 programming
language. For the language itself, its documentation, and downloads of the
apps for different platforms, see: http://www.inform7.com

Almost everything here is a "web", or "literate program", powered by //inweb//.
Those new to literate programming may want first to try the modest examples
there (say, //goldbach//), and skim the //inweb// manual.

These pages host "woven", human-readable, forms of the source and are intended
for browsing. To obtain and build the software, or to see resources which
are not webs and thus not here, see: https://github.com/ganelson/inform

@ The Inform 7 compiler comes with a large penumbra of supporting resources,
so there are around 50 webs in this repository:
(a) The compiler is built from around 20 modules, plus three front-end command
line tools controlling them. See //compiler// for a map.
(b) See //other// for command-line tools useful for building or working with
Inform, but not involving compilation: //inblorb//, a packager; //indoc//, to
format documentation; //inpolicy//, a lint-like tool for checking Inform's
source code; and //inrtps//, to format run-time problem messages.
(c) The extensions "Basic Inform" (//basic_inform//) and "Standard Rules"
(//standard_rules//), together with a number of "kits" of precompiled Inter
code: see //extensions//.
(d) Small unit-test tools to exercise the modules mentioned in (a): see //units//.

@ Three webs are conspicuously missing, but only because they are on similar
mini-websites on other Github repositories:
(a) //inweb// itself, and its function library, //foundation//, which all of
the Inform tools use;
(b) the testing utility //intest//, which has a repository of its own.
